Wine, Art And Auctions This Weekend In Tampa
Masks & Identity: Len Prince in the Collection of William K. Zewadski
Runs through August 2, 2008 at the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. FMoPA has some nice shows and deserves a bigger audience. Here’s a description of the current exhibit from the site:
Len Prince arrived in New York in 1972 and built an impressive reputation for his photographs that have appeared in Vanity Fair, Interview and InStyle magazines as well as for his work for Estee Lauder and Cartier. He is especially recognized for his portraits of celebrities as seen in his 1997 book, About Glamour. Portrayed in the style of 1930s Hollywood publicity stills, Prince’s luminaries (Eartha Kitt, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Stewart and Kevin Spacey among others in the exhibition) wield the force of their fame through faces they have crafted and perfected.

Some Like It Hot At The Tampa Theatre
Sunday June 22
Part of the Tampa Theatre’s Summer Classic Movie Series. A great place to watch a classic movie. From 1959, Some Like It Hot was directed by Billy Wilder and stars Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. From Tampa Theatre site:
When two Chicago musicians accidentally witness a gangland shooting, they quickly board a southbound train to Florida, disguised as Josephine and Daphne, the two newest and homeliest members of an all-girl jazz band. Their cover is perfect… until a lovelorn singer falls for Josephine, an ancient playboy falls for Daphne, and a mob boss refuses to fall for their hoax!
